21、 A Four-Year-Old Boy Convinced Father Is a Fool After 45th Hide-and-Seek Victory
GLENDALE, PENNSYLVANIA-Expressing embarrassment and disappointment over being the son of such a loser, local four-year-old Connor Heyward was convinced that his father, Craig Heyward, was a fool after losing 45 games of hide-and-seek. “God, this is bad. I’ve hidden behind that bush a dozen times, and he still can’t find me, “ said Connor, admitting that after finding his father crouched behind a chair half his size, he had started to worry he might grow up to be a “ complete idiot” just like his dad. “At first, I thought I might be really good at this game, but after succeeding in hiding underneath a clothes basket with visible holes, I realized the kind of game was not his cake. It’d be one thing if he were only bad at seeking, but so far, his best hiding spot was behind the back door. Who hides behind a door? There’s no strategy to it whatsoever. “

22、On December 23, 2019, a Texas couple and their 12-year-old daughter delivering furniture in a rental truck got trapped in the San Juan National Forest in Colorado. After not being able to free the truck, they spent the evening in the truck, leaving the vehicle on and wrapping up in moving blankets to keep warm. In the morning, they wrapped plastic around their feet and chose to walk out to safety. Thanks to the concern of a family member, local authorities were contacted. The couple was spotted by a member of the Sheriff’s Department flying in his private plane.
This couple was making a quick run to deliver some furniture before the Christmas holiday. They were not thinking that they were putting themselves in a life-or-death situation. But where did things go wrong? They were using their GPS to take the fastest route. The issue with this is that GPS doesn’t take weather into account, especially snow that has fallen in rural areas. Also, GPS won’t account for what kind of vehicle you are driving! They had a cellphone. But it’s possible that being in a rural location, cell towers weren’t available. Or it could have been that they ran out of battery.
Every day has the potential to become a real-life survival situation. How can you ensure your story doesn’t turn into a survival story? You should always let people know where you are going and carry your phone and a battery charger. Besides, always check the weather and adjust your trip accordingly. Always be prepared. Preparedness is a lifestyle. It means taking responsibility, hoping for the best, and preparing for unfortunate events. Taking a few moments to make sure you are prepared when you leave your home is a smart thing to do.
【1】What happened to the family on their way to delivering furniture?
A．Their car had run out of fuel.
B．They got stuck in a rural area.
C．They lost directions in the woods.
D．Their daughter suffered a heavy cold.
【2】Who rescued the family?
A．An officer.
B．A couple.
C．A GPS application.
D．A neighbour.
【3】What lesson can we learn from the Texas couple’s story?
A．Cell towers were outdated in some rural areas.
B．First aid training is necessary in all situations.
C．Modem technologies can go wrong occasionally.
D．Overall factors should always be taken into account.
【4】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A．To warn against some dangerous travels.
B．To show the importance of responsibility.
C．To give tips on outdoor safety preparations.
D．To offer measures to deal with emergencies.
23、 Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
【1】Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these healthy colors. Ice cream packers are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
【2】Recently, some kind of pain killer was brought out, but researchers found it didn’t sell well, because the color made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package-because we think of blue as safe, and white as calm.
【3】But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know the truth: 【4】The founder of Pears soup, who for 25 years has used pretty girls to promote their goods, came to the conclusion: “【5】”
A.It’s not enough to have a good product.
B.Coloring, for example, varies(不同) according to what the producers are selling.
C.Any fool can make soup, but it takes a genius(天才) to sell it.
D.The colors tricked the customers into shopping.

F.A good product is an advantage(优势).

24、Have you ever tried to wear a historical object? On 13 September, in a Chinese reality show, an inventive participant chose to connect themes from Sanxingdui, an ancient Bronze Age culture from Sichuan Province, with today’s fashion technology. That included using heat transfer printing techniques and modem materials to create six different pieces.
Historic designs are generating interest in China. Over the past year, more people have visited museums online than in real life. And the number of visits to museum design stores on Tmall alone has lopped 1.6 billion. Of these mils, 100 million users were “post 1990s”.
Museum IP, considered to be an intangible cultural asset, is now attracting great interest from China’s younger generation. In 2013, the Forbidden City Museum in Beijing first requested product design ideas from the public for a cultural and creative design competition. The end results included luggage tags, folding fans, and many other products. Its cooperation with Chinese beauty brand Pechoin followed to launch the first lipstick. Even in 2017 the museum earned more than 1 billion RMB through cultural and creative products.
After witnessing the huge commercial potential of cultural and creative products, many other Chinese museums have followed the Forbidden City Museum’s example. In July, Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province removed the cover on Sanxingdui masks, with toy character designs inspired by Sanxingdui cultural relics. Dunhuang Academy launched a Tianlong Babu blind box (a gift box with a random mixture inside) based on its frescoes. The Henan Museum has launched an archaeological blind box complete with mini play drilling tools that consumers must use to access the toys inside.
【1】What can we learn about people’s online visits in Paragraph 2?
A．More people have visited museums in real life.
B．People dislike to buy historic designs in museums.
C．The number of visits to museums online has topped to 1.6 billion.
D．100 million Tmall users of “post 1990s” have visited museum design stores.
【2】How does the author illustrate his or her point in Paragraph 3?
A．By using quotes.
B．By giving examples.
C．By giving definitions.
D．By making comparisons.
【3】Which place launched a blind box based on frescoes?
A．The Forbidden City Museum.
B．Sanxingdui Museum.
C．Dunhuang Academy.
D．The Henan Museum.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Aunt Barbara and Uncle Howard's for Thanksgiving. My aunt and uncle live on a farm at the opposite end of town, and Chris and I love going there.
We live on a farm, too and we had to do the morning chores before we left. When we finally got to my aunt and uncle's, we saw Uncle Howard and Dad cleaning out the turkey coop before dinner. We asked Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys. He must have been impressed, because when we were finished, he winked at my dad and handed me one turkey egg.
“You kids put this under a setting hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you'll have one turkey!”
We were so excited that we nearly dropped the egg on the way home. We both stuffed ourselves at dinner and rushed to tend to our egg.
We put this egg under an old hen, and every day Chris and I would check to see if they'd hatched yet. Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop after school to find the old hen scratching on the floor. Behind her waddled one ball of fluff, falling over his feet and looking sort of bewildered. We named the little chick Timothy.
Timothy grew and grew, gorging himself on the feed we threw out. He stayed mostly to himself, ignoring the chickens. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant.
Then, one day toward Thanksgiving, Dad penned Timothy up and said, “We are going to make this nice, plump bird for our Thanksgiving dish." After Dad turned and walked away, Chris's face began to pucker and he started to cry.
“Don't worry, Chris,” I said comfortingly. “We'll save Timothy, somehow.”
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
I then had an idea when I thought of the small cave in the woods.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, Mom soon found Timothy missing, and Dad sent us out to look for him.
